Spinel
Translucent attractive red crystals of spinel measuring to 1.4 cm in size on a calcite matrix. This is in great condition. Brightly fluorescent under longwave ultraviolet light.
Editor's note
Non-gemmy spinel crystals like this are not suited for jewelry but make a good and very affordable collectible thanks to its sharp octahedral shape, contrast with the white matrix (base rock) and bright color. Like a cherry on whipped cream, this is an amazing high-contrast item for a miniature collection.New Collector GuideEarthWonders Editor
